For your safety
Read the instructions carefully before using your appliance for the rst time and retain for future
reference.
• This appliance complies with the technical rules and standards for safety currently in force
(Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage, environment).
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Warning! The voltage of your electrical installation must correspond to that of the iron (220V-240V).
Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreversible damage to the iron and will invalidate the
guarantee.
This iron must always be plugged into an earthed socket. If using a mains extension lead, ensure
that it is correctly rated (16A), with an earth.
• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, it must be immediately replaced by an Approved Service
Centre to avoid any danger.
The appliance should not be used if it has fallen, if it has obvious damage, if it leaks or does not
operate correctly. Never dismantle your appliance: have it inspected by an Approved Service Centre,
so as to avoid any danger.

Before first use
• Please read these instructions carefully. Remove any labels from the soleplate before heating
up the iron.
Before using your iron’s steam functions for the rst time, we recommend that you activate the
steam function in a horizontal position for a few moments away from your laundry. Switch the
thermostat control to “MAX” or “•••” and hold down the variable steam trigger. Under the same
conditions, press the Turbo button several times.
• There may be a release of smoke, a harmless odour and a light spray of particles when you use your
appliance for the rst time. This has no effect on the use of the iron and will disappear quickly.
Preparation
Setting up
• Attach the EasyFix system onto the ironing board by turning the screw. It is normal that the small
piece attached to the screw is mobile – fig.1.
• Click the base onto the EasyFix System – fig.2 and 3.
• Adjust the angle of the base on the board fig.4. We recommend that the base is adjusted to a 45°
angle for greater comfort.
What water to use?
Your appliance has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. However, it is necessary
to operate the Self-Clean function regularly in order to eliminate hard water deposits from the steam
chamber.
Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed
below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining
or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from
refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, ltered or bottled water. These types of water
should not be used in your iron. Also only use distilled or demineralised water as advised below.
If your water is very hard, it is possible to mix untreated tap water with store-bought distilled or
demineralised water in the following proportions : 50% tap water, 50% distilled or demineralised water.
Filling the water tank
• Fill the tank up to the “MAX”. Never ll the appliance by holding it directly under the tap.
Do not remove the anti-scale valve to ll the water tank.
• Unplug the base from the socket.
• Place the iron on the base.
• Open the tank lling ap and ll the tank up to “MAX– fig.5.
• Close the tank lling ap.
Using the appliance
Turning on
• Connect the base to a 220-240V socket – fig.6.
Adjust the temperature – fig.7. Your iron has the Autosteam Control function. Your iron automatically
and accurately determines the exact temperature and steam ow that are suitable, in order to
guarantee the best results.
• The ashing green light – fig.8 located on the display panel on the back of the base indicates that
the iron is heating up. When the light stops ashing – fig.9, the iron is ready to use.
• Do not place the iron on its heel during the resting period, but on its base – fig.13.

Operation of the display panel
• Flashing green light: iron is heating up – fig.8.
• Fixed green light: iron is ready – fig.9.
• The ashing red light and beep sounds after around 30s when the iron is not on its base: the iron must
be replaced on the base for recharging – fig.14.
Flashing orange light (according to model): Auto-Off function activated (see the section “Auto-Off
safety”) – fig.16.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Your iron heats up quickly: start with fabrics that are ironed at a low temperature and nish with those
that require a higher temperature.
If you lower the thermostat temperature, place the iron on its base and wait (around 10
minutes) until the temperature drops to avoid burning the fabric.
• If you are ironing a fabric with a mixture of bres: adjust the ironing temperature to the most delicate
bre.
Steam / Dry Ironing
• Check if there is water in the tank before using the variable steam trigger or the TURBO and
SPRAY functions.
• During your ironing session, hold down the trigger located under the handle (at least 5s at a time) to
obtain a constant ow of steam and guarantee the best results – fig.10. When the trigger is released,
the steam stops.
Using the TURBO and SPRAY function
• For the TURBO function, set the thermostat control to “MAX” or “•••”. Press the TURBO button from
time to time – fig.12.
When you dry or steam iron, press the SPRAY button several times to wet the fabric and remove
resistant creases – fig.11.
Vertical steam ironing
Hold the iron a few centimetres from the fabric to avoid burning delicate fabrics. Every ve pulses
return the iron to a horizontal position.
Hang the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric slightly taut with one hand. The steam is very
hot, so you should always do this with the garment on a hanger – never iron clothes which someone is
wearing – fig.15.
• Set the thermostat control to “MAX”.
• Press the turbo button in pulses – fig.12 and move the iron from the top to the bottom – fig.15.
Additional functions
Autoclean Catalys™ soleplate (according to model)
• Your iron is equipped with a self-cleaning soleplate which works by catalysis.
• Its exclusive coating removes all impurities generated by normal use.
• It is recommended that you always place the iron on its base to preserve its self-cleaning coating.
Auto-Off safety (according to model)
• During normal use, the Auto-off light is off!
The electronic system cuts the base power supply and the orange light located on the display panel
ashes if the iron remains still for more than eight minutes on the base.
• To restart the iron, simply press the RESTART button on the display panel – fig.16.

If there is a problem
PROBLEM CAUSES POSSIBLES SOLUTIONS
Brown streaks come
through the holes in
the soleplate and
stain the linen.
You are using chemical descaling agents. Do not add any descaling agents to the water
in the water tank.
You are not using the right type of water. Perform a self-cleaning operation and consult
the section “What water to use?”
Fabric fibres have accumulated in the holes of
the soleplate and are burning.
Perform the self-cleaning operation and clean
the soleplate with a damp sponge. Vacuum
the holes of the soleplate from time to time.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning the anti-scale valve (once a month)
Be careful! Never touch the end of the rod. The iron will not function without the anti-scale valve.
• Disconnect the base and empty the tank – fig.17.
• To remove the anti-scale rod, set the thermostat at MAX, press the valve extraction button
and pull gently upwards – g.18.
• Let the rod soak for four hours in a glass of white vinegar or natural lemon juice – fig.19.
• Rinse the rod under tap water – fig.20.
• Reposition the anti-scale rod; push the valve until it clicks – fig.21.
Self-cleaning
• Self-cleaning delays scaling on the iron. To prolong the life of the iron, perform a self-clean
once a month.
• Plug in the base and reconnect your iron.
• Allow the iron to heat up on the base, with the tank full and the thermostat set to maximum.
When the green light on the display panel stops ashing, take the iron and place it over a sink.
Remove the anti-scale valve (see previous chapter).
• Hold down the variable steam button and shake the iron gently and in a horizontal position, over the
sink, until some of the water (and the impurities) have drained through the soleplate.
• At the end of this operation, put the anti-scale valve back in place; push down until it clicks – fig.21.
• Place the iron back on the base to dry the soleplate.
Cleaning the soleplate
Your iron has a self-clean soleplate (according to the model):
• Warning! Use of an abrasive cloth will damage the self-cleaning coating on the soleplate.
• Its exclusive active coating allows it to remove all impurities that may be generated on a daily basis
during normal use.
Ironing with an incorrect program can however leave traces that may require manual cleaning. In
this case, it is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth on the still warm soleplate so as not to
damage the coating – fig.22.
Your steam iron is tted with an Ultraglide soleplate (depending on model):
• Never use aggressive or abrasive products.
• When the soleplate is still warm, wipe with a damp cloth – fig.22.
Storing your iron
• Set the thermostat control to “MIN”. Disconnect the base and empty the tank – fig.23.
• Wait for the soleplate to cool – fig.24. Wind the cord around the iron and its base – fig.25.
• Carry the iron and the base with two hands – fig.26 and 27.
